TASTE

Hungry for an intimate space that will satisfy both your taste-buds and your thirst for the unexpected? Ravenous for a one-of-a-kind experience that promises to awaken both your senses and your imagination — and get you a tasting at one of Calgary’s finest restaurants as part of the deal?

Combining the best of local cuisine with intimate storytelling and the latest in scientific and performance research, Taste is a unique, tongue-tingling, palette-expanding experience for the adventurous food lover.

Audience Advisory:
Please note this performance combines storytelling with the experience of tasting food. Taste is a sensory based performance where the audience will be blindfolded. It will not be a traditional meal but rather a series of taste experiences that will be specially crafted by Chef Andrew Winfield for the performance. To add to the mystery, the tasting menu will remain a secret until all three evenings of performances are concluded. A Ghost River Theatre representative will contact you prior to this event to confirm your attendance and discuss dietary restrictions if applicable. This is an 18 + event.
